Graduate and Professional School

Considering Post-Graduate Education

Graduate and professional school is a large investment which requires extensive consideration. Some questions to ask yourself when considering graduate school include:

Do you have a clear idea of the career you want to pursue? Is a graduate degree required for this career? Will it make securing employment easier?

Who wants you to go to graduate school? Are your interests pushing for the advanced degree - or are you responding to "outside" pressure from faculty, parents, friends?

If you defer graduate school for a few years, are there skills, expertise, connections you will gain?

"Do not choose grad school as a last resort because you think you will not find a job"
